Originally I experimented with transducers and a small 1 watt amp and streamed mp3 through it then applied the transducer to parts of my scull and even my teeth to find where the best sound would be obtained, if any. I found that the idea was working, so I did some research on bone headphones, bought a pair and found they really helped. Since then I have upgraded to Cochlea bone implants., fantastic for streaming from my piano into my head, no one else can hear my lousy playing………(except for the tapping on the keys).

Glendene,

I really don't know their level of deafness but I assume that there are definite thresholds required before we can claim "deafness" under the law. These kits are called deaf.

As a disabled veteran, I found the 34 minute demonstration to be the most encouraging that I have ever seen.
